and appropriately trained.
The designated operator, in addition to having read and assimilated the
instructions contained in this manual, must be su󰀩ciently prepared on correct
use of the machine and must be in possession of a driving licence. We remind
the operator to contact the retailer or the manufacturer if they are unsure about
the use of the equipment and the interpretation of this manual.
Do not use the machine if you are tired, ill or under the e󰀨ects of alcohol,
medicines or drugs.
2.6 CLOTHING AND PPE
Personnel should use safety equipment and personal protective equipment
during use and maintenance of the vehicle.
The correct clothing to wear during use and maintenance of the mower is as
follows:
• Gloves;
• Accident-prevention shoes or boots with iron toe-cap;
• Protective goggles;
• Overalls with elasticated wrists, ankles and waist.
Furthermore:
• Since the machine can generate dust during use, if the tractor is not equipped
with a closed cab, the operator must wear a dust mask (especially on dry and
dusty ground)
• When the tractor is not equipped with a sound-proof cab, the operator should
wear hearing protection for noise control (especially on stony ground).
• It is recommended that the operator using the equipment not wear clothing
that may cause entanglement such as scarves, belts, wide sleeves, etc.
2.7 SAFETY DEVICES
• Before using the machine, make sure that all the safety devices are correctly
placed in place and in good condition and in the event of faults or damage to
the guards, replace them immediately.
• Do not tamper with or bypass the safety devices for any reason. After every
cleaning and maintenance, all of the safety devices must be restored and/
or all protection housings closed. Also verify that there are no tools, rags or
other materials inside the transmission compartments.
• The signs applied to the machine provide a series of important indications:
their observance is essential to preserve the safety of the various operators.
2.8 POSITION AND MEANING OF THE PICTOGRAMS
Periodically check the good condition of the safety pictograms and, if they are
damaged, they must be replaced with new and original ones to be requested
